Trump claims Iran talks start Monday – Iran denies

During a press briefing, Trump asserted that the United States had scheduled a fresh round of diplomatic talks with Tehran for the coming Monday, suggesting a thaw in relations.

Iran’s foreign ministry responded within hours, stating no such meeting had been arranged and warning against premature optimism.

The exchange comes amid ongoing sanctions debates and regional security concerns over Iran’s nuclear program.

Analysts caution that the mixed messages could further destabilise an already volatile diplomatic environment.
